[IPv6crawler-wg] An important update about the IPv6 Matrix Project

Hello all,
another update: the first complete run using the new TLDs has completed!
You can view the results up to February 2016 from http://www.ipv6matrix.org
In adding new gTLDs we have hit a snag, although this snag does not
significantly affect overall results since it appears to only affect a
tiny number of domains.
I am speaking about Internationalized Top Level Domains (IDNs):
xn--3e0b707e xn--80adxhks xn--90ais xn--j1amh xn--pgbs0dh xn--wgbl6a
xn--4gbrim xn--80asehdb xn--d1acj3b xn--p1ai xn--q9jyb4c
Each of these is the ASCII equivalent of a non ASCII domain name. Whist
the Crawler works well with them and we are able to collect all of the
data pertaining to crawls in IDNs, the program that builds the Database
uses SQLite. Until now, database entries made use of domain names that
were ASCII - but IDNs use a double dash "--" in the domain. SQLite
coughs on DASH - so we have not been able to produce the database needed
for the displaying of the results when including IDNs.
Until we have a workaround, I have manually isolated data collected for
IDNs, which means we still collect them, but we will not take them into
account in the final database results. As I have said, this is a tiny
subset of domains: 760 entries out of a total of 1 Million domains.
I am *still* drafting a very long article for RIPE labs. In fact, we
might publish this in two parts. In the meantime, the results appear to
be somehow consistent with results of other tracking projects, some of
which use other methods to track IPv6 adoption:
- http://6lab.cisco.com/stats/
- https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/
- http://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/
We now have 306 Gb of comma separated value text data in store, tracing
back the spread of the IPv6 Internet since July 2010. (294Gb in
November 2015)
I look forward to your kind feedback.
Warmest regards,
Olivier
